THE OLD CLASS REUNION 



The Old Class Reunion 

Scene: A school hall or assembly room decorated with pen- 
nants and festoons of rihhon or paper to represent the old class 
colors. Me. and Mss. Hillis and Henry Grant are discovered 
completing the decorations, 

John. Well, everything's ready for the Alumni banquet of 
the famous class of 19 . 

Henry* Let's see — you said you had received a reply from 
every one of the old class, didn't you? 

Mrs. H. Yes — from every one. Strange, too, that after 
thirty years every one of our old class should be alive and well. 

John. And if they do come it will be the first time we have 
all met together in the halls of our Alma Mater since that evenit- 
ful night in June, 19 . 

Henry. A wonderful class it was. Nothing like it had ever 
happened before in the annals of our school history. 

John. At least in our opinion. 

Mrs. H. And what high ideals each one of us had. We shall 
soon see how nearly we measure up to those standards we had 
set for ourselves. 

Henry. Some of us, I fear, have sadly failed. 

John. And some others have no doubt reached far beyond 
their goal. 

Henry. That was always the way in school — some always 
had perfect lessons and others never had them. I am afraid I 
was one of the latter. 

Mrs. H. Ah, here are some of our old classmates coming 
now. Who can they be? 

Henry. That's more than I can tell you — and yet their faces 
look familiar. 

{Enter Albert^ Hooker, Hon. H, P. Tucker and Mybon 
Green.) 

Henry. Welcome, thrice welcome, classmates of 19 . 

Albert. Well, well, Henry Grant, how are you anyway? 
and John Hillis — and Alice Pitcher. 

(All shake hands heartily,) ^ 



4 THE OLD CLASS REUNION 

Henry. She is Mrs. Hillis — John's wife — ^now. 

Albert. What? Alice and John married? 

Mrs. H. Yes, and I do believe this is Bert Hooker and 
Myron Green. 

John. And Hiram Tucker. How do you do, Hi? I'm mighty 
glad to see you. 

Hiram. And I am glad to see you, too, John — my old chum 
of thirty years ago. 

Henry. And here are more coming. 

(Enter Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Van de Griff and E. Louise 
Jackson. ) 

John. Well, now who have we here? 

Henry. They've got me stopped. Anyway they are welcome 
to our city. 

Mrs. H. I think I know — ^^it's Louise Jackson and Manda 
Spriggins — or Mrs. Van de Griff, I should say. Now aren't you? 

Albert. By George! That's so, and if here isn't Elsie 
Williams! 

Mrs. Fisher. Mrs. Norman Fisher now. 

Albert. No matter, we're just as glad to see you for all 
that. 

Mrs. V. And I assure you we're equally as glad to be here. 

Louise. Doesn't it seem like the good old times though. 

Myron. Like the good old times of thirty years ago 

Mrs. F. Thirty years? Why, it doesn't seem possible, 
does it? 

Myron. And yet there have been many changes in that time. 

(Enter Ralph.) 

Ralph. Thirty years, did I hear you say? 

Henry. Well, well, well, if here isn't our old friend, Ralph 
Waldo Spicer! How are you, old chap? 

John. Remember, Henry, this is the Rev. Mr. Spicer now. 

Henry. I beg your pardon, sir, I didn't mean to be rude. 

Ralph. Tut, tut, my boy, no apologies are needed. We are 
boys and girls again tonight. 

Albert. You're right, Ralph. As Holmes says: 

"Hang the Almanac's cheat and the Catalogue's spite! 

Old Time is a liar! We're twenty tonight!" 

John. Let's see — how many are here now? 

Mrs. H. Ten — and four more to come. 

John. Well, here are two of the four. 

(Enter Percy Montgomery and Mrs. Bigger.) 

Hiram. How are you, Percy Montgomery? Say, this is 
great. (They shake hands.,) 

Percy. Isn't it, though. I'm right glad to see you. 

Louise. And here's Martha Stout. Why, Martha, you look 
just the same as you did that night we graduated. 

Mrs. V. I Sure enough, it's Martha Stout! 

Mrs. F. I 

Mrs. B. No, you are all wrong. I am Mrs. Joshua Bigger 
now. 



THE OLD CLASS REUNION 5 

Albert. Bigger, did you say? You were Stout once but 
now you're Bigger. Haw! haw! haw! 

Mrs. B. I see you are as full of your jokes as ever. 

Albert. And why shouldn't I be? It's better to laugh than 
to cry. 

Mrs. B. I thought you might grow more sedate with age, 
you know. 

Albert. Age? What are you talking about? We're none of 
us old. I quote Holmes again: 

"We're twenty tonight, who says we are more?" 

(Enter Dorothy Smith.) 

Mrs. V. (rushing forward and clasping her in her arms). 
And here's Dorothy Mae Goodman! You dear, dear girl! I'm 
so giad. 

Dorothy. And so am I, Amanda. Such splendid times we 
had tGgether! I shall never forget them. 

Johzn. Well look! Here comes the last of our famous class. 

He^^ry. Last but not least — Dr. Fannie Ellsworth Pendleton. 
(Enter Fannie.) 

Several. Sure enough, it's Fannie. 

(They crowd around her.) 

Myron. We welcome you as our classmate, but we hope that 
your professional services will not be needed this evening. 

Fannie. I hope not, for indeed I've had so much to do I had 
barely time to catch the train. 

Louise. We hear you have made a great success of your 
work. 

Fannie. That is just as people look at it. However, I'll 
tell you more about it later. 

Ralph. I think we shall all have opportunity to tell of eur 
victories and defeats. By the way, who is to be our president 
since we have no regular alumni organization? 

Mrs. F. Let us have the same officers we had when we 
graduated. 

Ralph. Let's see — ^Hiram was our president as I remember. 

John. Yes, and Alice was our secretary 

Mrs. H. I have already assumed or rather re-assumed the 
duties of that office. 

Ralph. And who was vice-president? My memory fails me. 

Henry. Why, Percy was vice-president. 

Percy. With never anything to do. 

Henry. And Myron was treasurer, as I recollect. 

Myron. And I still have a balance of five cents in the 
treasury. 

Dop^THY. After all these years? 

Myron. I have kept it as a reminder of those dear old days. 

Hiram. Fellow classmates, if I am to be the presiding officer 
I feel it my duty to call this meeting to order at once. 

(All take seats.) 

Dear Colleagues — I mean Classmates: It is with the greatest 
pleasure that I assume the duties of presiding officer of this 
legislative body — I mean this alumni gathering. We have been 
called from various parts of the country and from different walks 



6 THE OLD CLASS RETTNION 

in life to renew here this evening our friendship and associations 
of High School days. It matters not whether our lives have 
been successes or failures, we are all classmates still and shall, 
I hope, continue to remain so until the end of life. Many of 
us have never met since that eventful day in June when we 
received our diplomas from this dear old High. I -think it will 
be very interesting if each onej will tell us the story of his or 
her life during the past thirty years. This may be done as the 
secretary calls the roll. Alice — I mean, Mrs. Hillis — will you 
proceed with the roll call? 

Mrs. H. Certainly. I shall call each one by the names we 
used to know and I will begin with our worthy president, Hiram 
Philip Tucker. It is rumored that he has climbed^ high on the 
ladder of Fame. 

Hiram. I can only say that whatever height I have at- 
tained has been reached by hard and patient climbing. I worked 
my way through High School and through College and after that 
I entered the law office of Hodge & Podge. Then I went into 
politics and — do I see some of you laughing? 

John You were always a politician, Hi. 

Hiram. Maybe so — at any rate I have succeeded fairly well. 
I have just been elected to the State Senate for the third term. 
Whatever have been my duties and wherever they have called 
me I have always kept our class motto in mind: "Ever Onward 
and Upv/ard." 

Albert. Married, Hi? 

Hiram. Yes, sir — married the finest girl in the state — the 
daughter of our party leader. 

Henry. You certainly have a head for business, Hi. 

Mrs. H. Next is Myron Alonzo Green. 

Myron. Well, as you all know, I entered Mossville Agricul- 
tural School the next year after my graduation from here. Then 
my grandfather died and left me a snug little sum which I at 
once invested in full-blooded. Holstein cattle. The next thing I 
did was to marry a sister of that "finest girl in the state," and 
Hiram and I live in the same town. 

Mrs. p. How delightful! 

Myron. And I wish to say that if any of you come to our 
town just inquire for the "Sunnyslope Stock Farm*' and there 
you'll find me and my wife and a hearty welcome for you all. 

Hiram. Allow me to Join in that invitation. 

Mrs. H. Well, now here comes Elsie Genevieve Williams. 

Mrs. p. I can relate my history for the past thirty years in 
a very few words. After leaving here I entered the Normal 
School and graduated from there four years later. I secured a 
position as grade teacher at Blankville and it was while teach- 
ing there that I became acquainted with Mr. Benjamin Pisher, a 
promising young druggist — that is, he promised to provide a com- 
fortable home for both of us and — well, he has kept his promise, 
that's all I've got to say. 

Martha, I congratulate you. You can have all the sodas 
you want for nothing. 

Mrs. p. I am not as crazy for them as I used to be. 

Mrs. H. Edna Louise Jackson is next. 



THE OLD CLASS REUNION 7 

Louise. Oh dear! Must I tell everything — my failures and 
disappointments and all? 

Hiram. No, Miss Jackson, we do not wish you to go too 
deeply into your personal affairs if by so doing it will cause you 
embarrassment. 

Louise. Oh, thank you! Thank you! I will only tell you 
of my life work. I first began writing news items for the Buzz- 
ville Courier Then I ventured into poetry, and after climbing 
Parnassus' Heights and loitering and browsing beside the bab- 
bling brooks I have entered into the broad green fields of fiction. 
And oh! Such rich and fertile fields they are! 

Mykon. If they're any richer than mine they must be some 
fields. 

Louise. Oh, but you do not, you can not understand. Lit- 
erature is so different from other vocations. It is so diversified. 

Hiram. Any money in it? That's the all important ques- 
tion today. 

Louise. As to that I cannot say yet, but I have great hopes. 
I have written a beautiful novel entitled "The Romance of a 
Chicken," and several charming poems, one of which is dedi- 
cated to this very class. Shall I read it to you? 

Hiram. Better wait until after the roll call. 

Mrs. H. Next is Percy Algernon Montgomery, 
b^ Percy. As you all know, geography was my favorite study. 
^it was always my ambition to travel. 

Albert. We know you used to travel around with the girls 
considerably. 

Percy. For over twenty-five years I have been gratifying my 
ambitions — I have done nothing but travel. 

Ralph. Twenty-five years of traveling must have taken you 
pretty much all over the world, hasn't it? 

Percy. Hardly so. I have my regular route — as a commer- 
cial traveler. {Several say "OTi!") 

Mrs. V. You were always such a ladies' man, I suppose you 
are married, of course. 

Percy. That's the trouble. I never could quite decide be- 
tween them so I am still a bachelor. But if I have failed in that 
respect I have been very successful in my calling. I have been 
called the best salesman in my line. 

John. What is your line may I ask? 

Percy. Corsets — we handle the best fitting corsets in the 
world. 

Mrs. H. Ralph Waldo Spicer is next. 

Ralph. It was always my intention to become a doctor of 
medicine, but Fate has made me a doctor of divinity I early 
became convinced that it was my mission in life to minister to 
men's souls rather than to their bodies. After receiving my col- 
lege degree and becoming a full-fledged minister, I was appointed 

to my present charge in the city of , an(^ I have good 

reason to believe that my work there has been greatly blessed. 

Fannie. Isn't it good to know that at least one of our class 
has trod the straight and narrow path? 

Mrs. H. Next is Martha Bell Stout. 

Mrs. B. I was born and brought up on a farm and have 



8 THE OLD CLASS REUNION 

always loved country life, so when Joshua Bigger popped the 
question to me I at once accepted him and I've never been sorry 
for it since We have been very prosperous; my husband has 
succeeded his father as Squire Bigger; and we have three little 
Biggers nearly ready for High School. If any of you ever come 

over to we'd be real glad to have you come and see us. 

Joshua's a great hand to visit. By the way, I've brought some 
carnations? (any flower), our class flower. Every year we have 
a delightful bed of them in our front dooryard. 

Sevebal. How lovely! 

Mrs. H. Next on the roll is Amanda Ann Spriggins. 

Mrs. S. I, too, was born and bred on a farm, but I never 
liked farm life. I detested it. So when the rich Mr. Van de Griff 
came to spend the summer at our house and then invited me to 
spend the winter with them in New York, I was only too glad 
to accept the invitation. As a result I married the younger son, 
Alexander Van de Griff, who has become one of the leading stock 
brokers of New York. We have a beautiful home on Fifth Ave- 
nue and a summer home in the suburbs. I have everything that 
heart could desire. 

Dorothy. How very fortunate you are! 

Mey. H. Albert Thomas Hooker is next. 

Albert. All I've got to say is that I am sole proprietor aiji' 
editor of the *'Blankville News-Journal." I started as errand W4 
and worked my way to the top until now I'm the whole cheese— 
I mean the whole thing. I conduct a fearless sheet. I am not 
afraid to say what I think, no matter where it hits, and thereby 
I've made many enemies as well as many friends. 

John. You were always a fearless speaker, Al. 

Albert. And I haven't grown any less so. 

Mrs. H. Henry Ulyssus Grant. 

Henry. You've heard the proverb, "A rolling stone gathers 
no moss?" Well, that's nje all over, I'm the embodiment of that 
proverb. I've never been known to remain in any one occupa- 
tion for more than a year or two at a stretch. I've been farmer, 
carpenter, grocer, painter, bookkeeper, huckster and a few other 
things, and a failure in every one. But I have brighter hopes 
for the future. 

Louise. You and I are both looking to the future. 

Ralph. What's your present occupation, Henry. 

Hfnry. I am an inventor. You know I was always great 
on science. Well, just at present I am at work on a new source 
of power for automobiles — something that will sell for about 
one-fourth the price of gasoline 

Myron. Say, when you get that on the market just let me 
know about it 

Henry. If I succeed my everlasting fortune will be made. 
Albert. But if you fail? 

Hfnry. Then I'll simply change my occupation again, that's 
all. 

Mrs. H. Dorothy Mae Goodman. 



THE OLD CLASS REUNION 9 

Dorothy. Do you remember the dramatics our class used to 
put on? 

Se\'Eral. Yes, yes, indeed we do. 

John. Great stunts they were, too. 

Dorothy. Well, I am doing that sort of thing every day now. 

Several. What? Acting? 

Dorothy. Yes, I am with the Wellington Stock Co. as lead- 
ing lady. I made my first debut fifteen years ago at the Eldorado 
Theatre. 

Mrs. V. So you were never married? 

Dorothy. Why, I forgot to tell you, didn't I, that my name 
now is Mrs. Dorothy Mae Smith. My husband is stage manager 
of our company. 

Percy. An actress! Gee whiz! This is becoming mighty 
interesting^ By the way, a good many prominent actresses are 
wearing our Queen of Sheba corsets — finest on the market, with 
double re-inforced steel stays and covered with 

Mrs. H. Next is Fannie Ellsworth Pendleton. 

Fannie. You already know that I am a physician. I have 
been practicing for nearly twenty years, and I have now the 

largest practice of any physician in the city of . I 

hardly get time to sleep or to eat. You remember how interested 
I used to be in athletics, don't you? 

Several. Yes! yes! 

Mrs. F. You were the leader of athletics among the girls. 

Fannie. Well, now I advise all my patients to take plenty 
of exercise and fresh air. They are the very best kind of medi- 
cines I know of. 

Myron. You're right, Fannie. I quite agree with you. 

Mrs. H. John Henry Hillis comes next. 

John. My life story hasn't been a very exciting one so far. 
My education ended with the High School. I assisted my father 
in the store until about ten years ago when he retired and I 
succeeded to the proprietorship. I married our secretary about 
twenty years ago, and she has been appointed post mistress of 
this village, so you see we are both in the store together most of 
the time. 

Mrs. H. Well, my name comes last of all, but as my husband 
has already told you the most important part I will simply let 
it go at that. 

Hiram. This has certainly been a remarkable class. 
Several. Hasn't it though! 

Hiram. I believe you were the class prophet, Martha. How 
have our real lives compared with the prophecy? 

Martha. I think my prophecy was a dismal failure. 
Louise. May I read my poem now? 
Hiram. Yes, go ahead. 
Louise. (Reads,) 



10 THE OLD CLASS REUNION 

Oim OLD CLASS. 

A wonderful class left Grandville school 

Some thirty years ago — 
Went out in the world their luck to try 

And their marvelous skill to show. 

[ A few had talents and some had grit, 

And some were athletic and strong, 
And some had only the gift of speech 
And some had the gdft of song. 

But all had hopes of a future grand — 
Sweet dreams of wealth and fame, 

In trades and professions and halls of state — 
Oh, lofty and high was their aim! 

How many have reached the crowning height? 

How many succeeded in life? 
How many of them have failed outright, 

Or v/eary grown in the strife? 

j 
The many seasons have come and gone 

With their winds and rains and snow, 
And that class has been scattered far and wide 

Since thirty years ago. 

{She sits down.) 

Albert. That's a fine poem, Louise^ — very fine. I shall be 
pleased to publish it in the next issue of the News-Journal. 

Louise. Oh, will you? I shall be so delighted to have you. 

Ralph. It is very true, too, especially in regard to the tal- 
ents. I fear that some of us have kept ours wrapt up in a nap- 
kin all these years. 

Mrs. Williams. It is true about the "gift of gab" too. All 
of us were endowed with plenty of that. 

Louise. Dear me! I didn't say "gift of gab" — I said "gift 
of speech." 

Mrs. W. Well, anyway, it all means the same thing. 

Mrs. S. I think it would be perfectly lovely if we could all 
join in singing our old class song. 

Mrs. H. With Dorothy for leader. 

Several. Yes! yes. The class song! 

Dorothy. Then you must all sing it with the same spirit, 
that you used to sing it. 

{All join in song. ..Tune *'Vacant Chair,'') 

CLASS SONG. 

Here's to thee, dear Alma Mater! 

May thy glories never die; 
Happy years we've spent together 

In thy care, old Grandville High. 



THE OLD CL»ASS RETJNION 11 

We have filled our heads with knowledge 

In thy classrooms and thy halls, 
And though sad are we at parting, 

We must go where Duty calls. 

Chorus. 

Alma Mater, we must leave thee; 

Thou hast been a mother kind; 
Sweet shall be our memories ever 

Of these scenes we leave behind. 

Fare thee well, dear Alma Mater, 

Out into the world we go; 
There are many pit-falls waiting; 

We shall soon Life's trials know. 
But whate'er may be our mission. 

We shall ever loyal be, 
And our thoughts will oft be turning, 

Dear old high school, back to thee. 

Fannie. That was certainly very fin5. 

Mrs. B. Doesn't it seem natural — just as if we were back in 
our teens actually performing our commencement stunts again. 

John, Mr. President, Classmates: — I have a word to say. 
The banquet table is ready and waiting for us. 

Hiram. Then let us adjourn thitherward at once. 

Myron. Wait a minute. Hi! Let's have the class yell, too. 

Hiram. Then we'll have to call upon our old yell leader. 
Can you do it, Henry? 

Henry. I think I can. That was one thing I could do if 
nothing else — was to yell. 

Ready everybody! 

{All join in giving yell. Henry leads, waving arms.) Now 
again! {All yell,) 

Curtain.
